Below a few photos of the private owned museum of Mathilde and Marcel Schmetz
at Thimister-Clermont (Belgium)
A fascinating museum, The Remember Museum, is one of the most interesting of its kind. It is housed in an old renovated barn and is comprised mainly of items abandoned by the one hundred and ten American First Infantry Division soldiers who once enjoyed " R & R " at the Schmetzs' farm. The artifacts include personal items given by numerous WWII Veterans from various units. It is a museum with a human dimension, made great by its welcoming environment, its originality, its simplicity. The museum strives to serve as the testimony of our gratefulness towards all the G.I.s who, at the risk of their lives, gave us our freedom back.
